What is the difference between 1st and second AC compartment on Trains in India?

Question

Is there much difference between 1st, 2nd and 3rd Class service of an A/C Compartment in Indian Trains?

Answer 1

Yes...In 1st you get cool air, in 2nd you get warm air, in3rd you get hot or no air. Hope this answers your question.Why would you want to go to that place???

Answer 2

All three classes offer the same levels of air conditioning.

The 1st AC is carpeted and is available in 2 berth or 4 berth areas.  There is generally a sink in the area.  This is a very expensive class and provides bedding.

The 2nd AC has 2 bays on one side and 4 on the other side of the Aisle.  There is a curtain that gives you some privacy. It is relatively cleaner and more expensive than the 3rd class AC.  There is an attendant who distributes blankets and pillow.

The 3rd AC has 2 bays on one side and 6 on the other side of the aisle.  There are no curtains but you do get blankets and pillow.
